I know it's bleak, but can we have a lovely autumn thread? There must be something to look forward to surely...

I know everything is really worrying and bleak at the moment but I thought there must be something we can look forward to about autumn coming.

I am looking forward to:

Borrowing ghost stories from the library (they don't seem the same in warmer weather and lighter nights!)

Wearing dresses, tights and boots (I never feel as smart in the summer)

Walks in a nearby forest, maybe collecting conkers and taking a 'picnic' of a flask of hot water to heat up hotdogs and a flask of hot chocolate

Hot ribena or some other cordial

Soup for lunch...and dinner if I can get away with it!

The gentle warming glow from some of the many candles that people think I want as gifts.

Anyone else trying to find things to look forward to?

Autumn is my favourite. I can't wait for:

  • pumpkin spice lattes
    *decorating for autumn/Halloween

  • watching my favourite autumn films; Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic, the Craft, Twilight

  • pumpkin spice candles

  • Halloween and bonfire night

  • bonfire toffee

  • homemade Parkin

  • our annual Halloween party and celebrating our anniversary (yes we got married on Halloween)

  • hocus pocus 2

  • autumn walks in crunchy leaves

Hocus Pocus 2! Of course! I missed that out.
